California Is 100% Drought Free

California is 100% drought-free for the first time in over three years, according to the California Drought Monitor.

Roughly 5% of Northern California and Southeast California are "abnormally dry," but are not considered to be drought-stricken.

The news comes as California is forecast to receive above-average rainfall for the winter season, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.

Perfect time to empty all the reservoirs to save the minnows and guarantee perpetual droughts.

THAT rain was held in check from massive flooding by a large number of dams.

Calif is on the march to remove a number of those dams.

Within 2 years-—Calif will have flooding problems-—regardless of how much rain falls.

Permanence of a string of crises has always been a democRAT goal and method. Some people describe Kalifornia as mostly a desert climate. Los Angeles was never possible without water from the north. However, all along the coast of Kalifornia is a very large body of water. Some call it the Pacific Ocean. The democRATS call it...off-limits. We could build a few desalination plants and have all the water every person and farm needs. Israel is at the forefront in desalination. They create so much water they now distribute it to any neighbor who wants to purchase it. (Another reason democRATS hate the Jews, they’re so darn industrious).

Besides water, another perpetual democRAT crisis is electricity. While touting and mandating an electric future (cars, trucks, stoves, etc) they refuse to build any real new power generation. Wind and solar power only works when it is windy, and the sun shines. If anyone is foolish enough to only have an EV, good luck during the Kalifornia blackouts.

Also in Kalifornia, politicians would like to have access to the electricity in all of the EVs during a power ‘crisis.’ It is called bidirectional charging. A Los Angeles City Council person has suggested that all of the electric power in all the EVs in the greater Los Angeles EVs be plugged in to the grid in case they ‘need’ it. The Council person said something akin to ‘all that electricity is there while the owners are just sleeping.’ So, with bidirectional charging, the government can use (TAKE) the electricity in your EV when ‘necessary.’ You charge up your EV at night to go to work in the morning and,,,,,,Sorry! the government decided they ‘need’ it more.

It says it was also drought free about 3 years ago. Considering the size of the universe and the mechanisms at play...I’d say things are normal...wet one year...dry the next 2...then wet again etc etc etc...

Would it not still be a smart move to build a few nuclear reactors power plants and desalination stations for converting ocean water?
